Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this phase 2 randomized control trial will be to evaluate the effect of glucose-insulin-potassium (GIK) therapy in the setting of lower extremity trauma to reduce short- and long-term muscle damage, acute rhabdomyolysis, and acute kidney injury. The study will consist of 40 patients with femur or tibial shaft fractures randomized to the GIK arm (using a well-described systemic GIK protocol; n = 20) or the control arm (using isotonic saline; n = 20). The use of systemic GIK is expected to decrease the overall amount of lower extremity muscle cell death and result in improved muscle function in the postoperative period. Additionally, the investigators hypothesize that GIK will lead to less severe rhabdomyolysis and a concomitant decrease in the incidence of AKI that results from the byproducts of muscle cell death.
